equally undeniable. This being so, and
the movement continuing, it will be
but a matter of q short time when the
damage done the republican party in

THE JURY SYSTEM.
Piece of Perfection?

1t is an old and a true saying that there
is no accounting or predicting what a
Jury will do. At the same term of the
court one jury will fine man one cent
and costs for shooting with intent to Kill
a man, and the next jury will send some
poor devil to the penitentiary for ten
years for stealing pair of shoes.
1t is no uncommon occurrence for a
man to be acquitted of murder and one
sent to the penitentiary for life for steal
ing. at the same session of a court The
fact is, the jury system of this country,
like many other Of its institutions, is far
from being perfect 1t depends very
much upon whom the jury has to try as
much as it does with the law and the
evidence. Honest, fearless, capable
Judges are what is needed to correct the
errors of corrupt, prejudiced, or ignorant

Several days ago as workmen were en-
gagged in repairing the guttering on the
Richmond Theatre, one of them had oc-
casion to use piece of plank. Seeing. a
piece of board lying in that part of the
building between the ceiling and roof, he
started to go after it. He had only taken
few steps when suddenly he felt his
feet going through the floor, as it were.
Throwing out his right arm, he caught
himself, and managed to hold on to the
floor until several of his fellow-workmen
came to his assistance. He then found
out that, in crossing the floor, he had
stepped through the dome in the ceiling
which, as that part of the house is never
used, was covered with canvas But foI
his presence of mind in clinging to the
floor he would have been dashed to pieces
